Overview

Sequences and series form the basis of many patterns in mathematics. A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, while a series is the sum of the terms of a sequence. Some sequences follow an explicit formula and are called progressions. The two most important progressions are arithmetic progression a

Key Concepts

A sequence is an ordered list

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers. Formally, it is a function whose domain is a subset of natural numbers and whose range is a subset of real n

A sequence is called a progression

A sequence is called a progression if its terms can be written using an explicit formula. The sequences 2,4,6,8,... and -1,1,-1,1,... are progressions

A finite sequence has a fixed

A finite sequence has a fixed number of terms, such as 2,4,6,8. An infinite sequence continues without end, such as 2,4,6,8,...

A series is the sum representation

A series is the sum representation of the terms of a sequence, written as a1+a2+a3+.... It may be finite or infinite according to the sequence.

An arithmetic progression is a progression

An arithmetic progression is a progression in which the difference between any term and the previous term is constant. If the first term is a and the
